In Massachusetts, supporting the electric grid during system peak events (the brief periods when demand for electricity is at its highest) has wide-reaching economic and environmental implications. According to the state’s Department of Energy Resources (DOER), 40% of electricity spend in the state stems from the top 10% of hours of energy consumption. Much of this cost can be attributed to a reliance on natural gas generation to accommodate these demand peaks, which is not only expensive but threatens to prevent Massachusetts from reaching its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals.

To help alleviate these problems, Massachusetts is offering a new incentive program for on-site solar power generation and energy storage projects. These incentives create an opportunity for the state’s large energy users to integrate solar-plus-storage technology—enabling them to reduce total energy spend and maximize payments through utility and ISO ancillary programs.
